Starting the CampusConnect Session

To start a Microsoft Windows CampusConnect session on a Mac/Apple Computer, follow
these steps:

1.) Navigate to Go in the menu bar and find the Applications Folder.

2.) Find the CampusConnect VMWare Horizon Client in the Applications folder and double-click
on it.

3.) In the window that opens, you will see the VMWare Horizon Client Log-In dialog
box. Enter your Connections Username (everything before the "@" in your Webster email)
in the first line. In the second line, please enter your Connections password. The
third line reads "Domain" and that should be pre-populated with "WEBSTERAD". Do not
change this. Click on the Login button.

4.} In the window that opens, you will see the CampusConnect session icons to which
you have been assigned. Double click on the icon for the session you want to start.

Software in the General group is available to students and faculty in all groups. The other CampusConnect
groups contain more specialized software. The groups available to you are determined
by the classes you are taking or teaching, if you are a faculty member. For a listing
of the software available in each group, click on one of the options below.

5.) After choosing your CampusConnect group, you will briefly see a screen that indicates
the Windows desktop is loading. It can take up to two full minutes for the session
to load.

Once the session has fully loaded, you will find the specialized software you need
for your courses by clicking on the Start Menu button in the bottom left hand corner
of the screen next to the search bar.

Navigating the CampusConnect Session

1.) Once the CampusConnect session loads, you will see the familiar Windows 10 desktop
with various icons. You will see the Start Menu, the Taskbar, and all the familiar
Windows components. As with any Windows 10 desktop, you will see on the left top of
the desktop "This PC", your personal folder, browser applications icons. Along the
bottom of the screen, you will see the Start Menu (see red circle), the Search button,
the Task View button, and any applications that have been pinned there. You are able
to open applications from icons on the desktop or from the Start Menu. You will have
browsers available and will be able to get online just as with any Windows desktop. You
can totally customize the Windows desktop just like you would a native Windows desktop. Just
remember that the next time you log in to CampusConnect, the desktop will revert back
to its original state.

the menu bar, bring the cursor to the top of the screen and hold down the mouse. The

Saving files in CampusConnect

Because the CampusConnect session is completely refreshed after you log out, any files
saved to the virtual desktop will be lost.

1.) To save files you create during a CampusConnect session on the Mac, you have two
options: save to a removable USB drive or to your OneDrive.

2.) The USB button options that appear on the menu bar the first time you log in are
- Start remote USB services, Automatically Connect at startup, Automatically connect when inserted, and No suitable devices available.

3.) If you have a USB drive that you want to use to save your work, select Start remote USB services. The USB menu changes to ask you to choose from Automatically connect at startup, or Automatically connect when inserted.Choose Automatically connect when inserted.Make your selection and release the menu. Insert your USB drive into the USB port
on your computer. Wait while your drive is recognized.

4.) If you double-click on the This PC icon , you will see your USB drive listed as a connected device..

5.) If you don't have a USB drive, you can also save files to your OneDrive. Use your
preferred browser to go to portal.office.com to sign in to your Microsoft Office 365 account.

6.) In Office 365, you can work with the on-line versions of the MS Office applications.
It is much easier to save to OneDrive if you work within the on-line applications,
since everything is integrated. Once you've logged into Office 365, you will see all
of the on-line apps:

From here you can click on the Word icon (or whatever application you wish). When
the application opens, you can begin creating a new document, or you can continue
with a document you have already started. You note that your document is being saved
to your Documents folder in OneDrive while you work on it.

If you click on Your Name or Documents (see first red circle) you will be taken to
the Files area of your OneDrive. Here you can see your other files, as well as the
"Test1" document you were just working on (see above in second red circle and below
in the bottom red circle). Office 365 does this automatically!

You have successfully saved your document to OneDrive while working in CampusConnect
(VDI).

* When you log out of your CampusConnect session, anything that you saved in the Documents
folder on the virtual desktop will be deleted.

Printing in CampusConnect

1.) Logging in to a CampusConnect session will give you access to the local printers
in the computer lab or classroom where you are working.

2.) With your document open, select Print from the File menu, and release.

3.) You will see the Print dialog box and your local printer. Select Print and any
other print options you wish.

Logging Off

When you are finished, be sure log out properly from your CampusConnect session. To
do this, go to the Windows icon at the bottom of your CampusConnect window and click
on it. You will see a power button appear above the Windows icon (see first image

or "Restart". To log out completely from the CampusConnect session, choose "Shut down".
Now you have completely logged out of CampusConnect and protected all of yourfiles and information.
